Two key stars could be absent for Chiefs

Kaizer Chiefs are likely to be without Thabo Cele and central defender Inacio Miguel for their Nedbank Cup semi-final with Sundowns on Sunday. Midfield anchor Cele missed the 1-1 draw against TS Galaxy last weekend after sustaining a knock in Chiefs’ 2-1 defeat to Golden Arrows. Meanwhile, Angolan star Miguel was injured against Galaxy. That’s a blow, with the new signing making 26 appearances this season across all competitions.
